OK..... I have a different type of bomb in mind here.

It is different because I don't know who would like to have it, and who it would be of no use to!
So I am going to show up front what it is.

To qualify, you must be a wet shaver.
You must be prepared to smoke the cigar by Christmas. (Don't squirrel it away!)

So... the contents:

1. A cigar band shaving brush made by me
2. A stick of Turkish Arko shaving soap (not illustrated) - but it is superb!
3. A cigar to match the brush (The only brand that has a 10/10 in my database)

The eagle-eyed amongst you will note that the "T"s on the labels are not the same as the ones that you get in the USA ;-)

I will leave it for a few days, and then select someone at random from the people who state here that they would like to have it. I'll make an announcement when the list is closed, and then post it airmail. Should arrive in about 7 days or perhaps a little longer with the Christmas post.

Who wants it?

Wow what a lovely cigar and brush combo! If it can make it to Canada, I would be proud to show that off! And I only wet shave, with soap. I have always wanted a proper brush!

I wouldn't mind volunteering to be bombed with any or all of that.   :biggrin:

Very cool bomb! I love the brush! The addition of the band is awesome.

I'm a wet shaver in the sense that I use a shaving cream (not a typical can of Gillette). I've been talking to my wife about getting me a safety razor for my birthday/xmas as they are both coming up very soon.

Again, cool bomb! I think anyone who gets that will enjoy it!

Very nice  :thumbsup:

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize

I have been using a safety razor for a year that was my grandfathers, he passed away in 1950 well before I was born.  I have been too cheap to buy a shaving brush like that   :confused:   Too cool, would love to have one!

Those brushes seem to be hard to find in my parts. However, that is an interesting bomb concept. Nice.

I am not qualified for several reasons:

1. You just bombed me!
2. I try to shave as seldom as possible.
3. If you'll check the reviews for the Reyes, you will see I've already gotten a chance to try one, so I don't want to be greedy. (I also gave it 5 out of 5 stars.)

Beautiful brush!  I've been wet shaving for about 6 months with a Parker SR-1 (replaceable blade).  I currently just use an inexpensive Van Der Hagen boar hair brush that I got from the local drug store for about 5 bucks, along with Orangefuzz Beer & Clay shave soap (you can find their stuff on Etsy).  Not that I really deserve it, but I'll throw my name into this hat.

Also, if it matters, I only shave my cheeks and my lower lip.  I still technically have a beard but I use the straight razor to shape it.  Here's a picture for full disclosure purposes.  The picture was taken about a week before I started wet shaving, but my facial hair currently looks pretty much the same, just a little shorter and with cleaner lines.

Oh ya I am a wet shaver since I was 16 - I hate the electric razor, I have had my hairy upper lip since I was 19 and shave the beard/face every second day plus I would love to try that soap never had that one before  - just the old Wilson one I got from my wife. Never had a TTT and I would smoke it the day I got it and if you need my address I can email it to you...... :lmao:

So please: Sir - Pick me, more gruel sir but you can't eat your pudding till you finished but Sir more gruel please. In a English accent if possible. :crazy:

Hmmm, I could use one of those to go with a damascus steel straight razor. I think I have a piece of patterned steel in the shop just about big enough to forge one. Count me in as a willing recipient.

I think the point of Bruce's post was to call those "balls" into question.  Just sayin....
